VietNamNet Bridge – In the late afternoon, in the yard of Bo De pagoda in Gia Lam district, Hanoi, a group of children were playing. Some small babies wearing brown clothes were toddling. They are orphans seeking shelter.
These children live in an old house at the back of the pagoda. Inside, there is around 40sq.m and camp beds are arranged in a row, leaving a small path. The furniture in the room is very old. The room is littered with clothes and napkins.
